Haven Coleman (born March 29, 2006)[2] is an American climate and environmental activist.[3] She is the co-founder and co-executive director US Youth Climate Strike;[4] the nonprofit organization is dedicated towards raising awareness and demanding action concerning the climate crisis.[5] She established it together with youth activists Alexandria Villaseñor and Isra Hirsi.[6] She also writes for Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists.[7]
Haven Coleman is based in Denver, Colorado.[2] She is a student of Denver Public Schools.[8]
Activism
Coleman first felt the pull towards environmentalism when she was ten years old; after learning that her favorite animal, sloths, are diminishing due to deforestation. She then made significant lifestyle changes inspired by sustainable living.[9] Her training at Climate Reality Project educated her further.[10]
After seeing the bold environmental activism of Greta Thunberg and youth climate strikes in Europe, she was inspired to do the same. Thus, since January 2019,[5] at 13 years old, she began protesting in front of businesses or government buildings,[11] such as the Colorado State Capitol.[12] Every Friday she goes on strike to demand political action regarding air quality, coal plant retirement, renewable energy, etc. She also e-mailed elected officials concerning the issue. She was massively bullied by peers in school who thought her stark activism was strange.[9]
Coleman would protest alone until she was able to establish the US Youth Climate Strike together with Isra Hirsi and Alexandria Villasenor.[13] Since then, climate strikes have been conducted across many states in the USA.[14] On March 15, an international youth protest with over 120+ countries involved was held.[15]
Coleman went viral after speaking to state Senator Cory Gardner about carbon polluters on a public forum at the town hall. She implored him to take action and offered to organize a grassroots movement to facilitate, however, Gardner refused.[11]
As she made headlines, she caught the attention of Al Gore, who invited Coleman to speak for the 24 Hours of Reality campaign organized by The Climate Reality Project.[11]
Coleman is presently working on Arid Agency, which is geared towards accelerating environmental and social justice campaigns.[16]
